Ione, Nevada is a ghost town in Nye County, Nevada. It’s been abandoned for more than 70 years, but the town’s buildings and interiors look like their owners walked away just yesterday. This footage from YouTube channel “Explore With Us” shows just how incredibly well preserved Ione really is.

Ione was established in 1863 after silver was discovered in the area.
